Note! next Family Services
This takes place on October 5th at 11am (note time). It is the annual Harvest service, during which we bring food gifts which are then given to the York Road Project for the homeless. There is a bring and share Harvest lunch after the Harvest service.
At the Family Service on November 2nd at 10am we aim to explore further the gifts and talents God has given each of us. Many (160+) completed a brief questionnaire last autumn which helped highlight our individual areas of strength. We want to explore this a little more, so if you can find your ‘results’ sheet, bring it that Sunday, November 2nd - if you have lost it, we will try and re-issue one for you, and if you have never filled in the brief questionnaire we will have some available at the Harvest family service for you to take away.

House Groups
It’s the start of the academic year and time to start thinking about developing your spiritual life; developing your knowledge of the Bible and coming closer to God and Jesus Christ.
How do you do that? Well, by joining a HOUSE GROUP. As an added bonus you will also get to know other members of the congregation much better. Also the opportunity to voice your joys, fears and views about life, Christianity, the church etc..
We are also looking for new leaders and hosts. As a leader you will be given advice on how to run a group. The qualifications are minimal and you do not need a “degree in theology”. As a host you are asked to provide refreshments and a suitable venue.
If you are interested in joining a group, becoming a leader or host, speak with Richard Barnard (Tel 769130).
